Package: tasksel
Version: 3.18
Installed the base system, upgraded to Sid and run Tasksel to install
the desktop task.
Previously, during the system installation process, Debian was
configured to use Spanish and once rebooted Gnome was shown in
Spanish, but not Iceweasel nor Libreoffice, which depend on
task-spanish-desktop. Installing the package manually solved the
problem.
This was tested also on Wheezy and the translations are automatically
installed, so it may be a bug of current Sid version and the
automatically installation of the package task-<language>-desktop.
Other languages were not tested.

I tested this again with a buster netinst image, and everything is fine now.
So this seems to have been fixed in the meantime.
Thus closing this bug
